Contemporary artist working in a variety of media to explore a human relationship to space and modernity.
Newman has exhibited at the Hayward Gallery, Turner Contemporary, Trafalgar Square, Chatsworth House, New Art Centre, Guggenheim Museum in Venice and the 21st Century Museum for Contemporary Art in Kanazawa, Japan.
Skystation is a sculpture that also provides public seating. The contours of the work are designed to fit the reclining human form and encourage looking at the sky and the panorama that frames it. It is inspired by the LC4 chaise-longue, by Le Corbusier, Perriand and Jeanneret, and the modernist idea of form follows function.
Skystations are sited in diverse locations, with permanent installations in London at Nine Elms and Canary Wharf, and in the collection of MUDAM, Museum for Modern Art, Luxembourg.
